Updating previous reports, Philadelphia Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) will miss at least six months and likely will miss the entire preseason but is expected to be ready for Week 1, according to a source. His surgery was to repair a full tear of his rotator cuff.

Fantasy Tip: Owners will need to monitor the situation during the offseason and training camp to see if he will be in any danger of missing Week 1. He played very well in his first season with the Eagles and can be a No. 2 fantasy receiver if he is healthy.

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery's (shoulder) surgery for his torn right rotator cuff could keep him sidelined until the preseason. As reported earlier, Jeffery suffered the injury last offseason, but the pain and discomfort were not so severe to keep Jeffery from playing.

Fantasy Tip: Jeffery has several months to recover from the surgery, but the fact that he may miss the preseason is cause for concern. If he runs into one setback there's a good chance he will miss regular season time. He has low-end WR1 to high-end WR2 upside when fully healthy.

Philadelphia Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) had surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff Wednesday, Feb. 21. He suffered the injury in training camp and played through it all season.

Fantasy Tip: Jeffery had a 57-789-9 season despite the injury. One thing you can always count on, it seems, is injuries when it comes to him. He hasn't reached 1,000 yards in three straight seasons now, and it might be time to start looking at him as a risk/reward WR3.

Fantasy Tip: Jeffery should be a solid WR1 start for Philadelphia. It looks like he and Nick Foles have a chemistry and a rapport together, and that's all you can ask for a team that lost Carson Wentz a few weeks back.

Fantasy Tip: Jeffery gave fantasy owners a huge lump of coal in their stockings in the Christmas game, and the Philly receivers overall did nothing. Eagles WRs totaled five grabs for just 38 yards on 14 targets, with Nelson Agholor posting four catches for 35 yards. Ugly night.

Fantasy Tip: Jeffery was under the weather Thursday and missed practice, but fantasy owners shouldn't be concerned he'll miss the game. However, he will need to jell with Nick Foles, and missing a day of practice might have hindered that a bit. Treat Jeffery as a WR3 this week.
